Its ancestors came to our lands more than 500 years ago, with the Spanish conquerors, and they had to pass a large period of natural selection where the most courageous and resistant to this environment survived and reproduced themselves. This process gave to the creole horse the characteristics of resistance, rusticity and power of recovery, fundamental pillars that distinguish it from the rest of the equine breeds of the world, adding to this a great genetic variability.
Recently declared untouchable cultural heritage of the República Oriental del Uruguay, it is intimately linked to our history.
It was a fundamental actor in the periods of the battles for the independence and the national consolidation, being an essential factor in the economic, social and cultural development of our country through the daily work of our country men.
The work made by the S.C.C.C.U. and its members along the years, allows to have today an animal of solid racial quality, with a functional biotype of great versatility that detaches by its intelligence, docility and cowly condition, which added to the previously mentioned qualities of resistance and rusticity, make the Creole Horse the best choice when you are looking for a work horse, rein ability, riding or long breath competitions.

Inscription methodology
The genealogic registers of the breed are collected by ARU and date from 1929.
A simple methodology, gives the best warranty on the inscription of stallions and their genealogy.
It is done by filling a form or by Internet before 90 days after the animal is born, and it must include its name – sex – birth date – RP - name and SBU (Uruguayan Stud Book) of the father and mother.
With the stallion numbered and previous to weaning, an inspector from ARU makes a report by the mothers feet, checking the hair and particular signs.
The horses born outside Uruguay can perfectly well be inscribed in the ARU registers, via Internet, giving to the products the same value of an animal born in the country. Once a year, an ARU technician will coordinate a visit to the stud to make the report of the stallions inscribed outside the country the same that the ones born in the country.
The Horse Ride
In February, during four days, the creole family gathers in an atmosphere of friendship and fraternal socializing to enjoy horse and nature.
The “Monte de los Ombùes”, the “Fortaleza de Santa Teresa”, the Cabo Polonio, Aguas Dulces, San Miguel and many other places of our Rochean coast, gives it a matchless frame.
Inspections
During March, technicians of the Society travel around the country inspecting the animals that are at least three years old in the current year and that were previously inscribed in different concentrations.
In the inspection, it is evaluated that the animals enter the racial standard, proceeding afterwards to control their height that must range between 1,38m to 1,50m in females and 1,40m to 1,50m in males. The result is an animal accepted that will be marked with a U, with an oval – failed (being able to present again) or eliminated.
The inspection is compulsory for the use of all animals as reproducers, safe the sons of mother and father definitive, and necessary in the 100 % of cases to participate in any SCCCU activity or sponsored by it.

Autumn Show
At the Rural del Prado, the Morphologic competitions, the Rein Proofs, the Youth Proofs, the National Finals of Shovelful, the Youth Jury Competitions, the Floggers, the Competitions, the Reproducers Auctions and the International Classification for the Gold Frein, make the Autumn Show a truly joining point for creole breeders of all the country and region.
Morphologic Jury
During the principal shows, there are developed conformation competitions, fundamental tool of selection in the search of the functional biotype and the consolidation of the standard of the breed. Animals of both sexes compete for the precious title of Great Champion of the Breed.
Shovelful
It consists in reaching and taking a steer tightened by two horses mounted by the two horsemen that participate in the shovelful, through a delimited field, from one point of start to a pen of closure named “señuelo”.
In Autumn it takes place the finals of the Shovelful Championship with the best pairs classified previously in the rural countryside.
Gold Frein
In the Gold Frein there participate animals accredited previously in the Integral Proof or in Accreditation Events in Argentina or Brazil, that give the Autumn Show the quality of international classificatory of the Gold Frein, classifying the four better males and the four better females to dispute the finals in Esteio, Brazil.
The Proof consists in an instance of morphological competition and another functional part. Three juries qualify with points from 1 to 10, which are afterwards multiplied for the correction factor, that is imposed by the importance of each proof.
The first stage is formed by: paces, figures, turn over the feet and drawings made by the feet, yard and field proof, and the final stage: a yard proof again, Boyard Sarmento proof and the final field race.
Rein Proof
In the principal shows of the breed, it is disputed the Dr. Alberto Gallinal Proof, which includes the movements of: Pace, Troya, the Eight, Mounting and Dismounting, Withdrawal, Round over the feet, Wounding thrust and drawings made with the feet, as well as the Ing. Julio Ponce proof, delimited with posts and Creoles of America delimited with barrels.
Integral Proof
The first stage of the Gold Frein, the Integral Proof acts as accrediting, qualifying in each one of its editions four males and four females, to dispute the Classificatory during the Autumn Show.
The places where they take place are: Expo Prado, Paysandú, San Carlos and the city of Melo .
National Championship of Enduro
A proof meant to prove the speed and resistance of the horse. It is made along variable distances, in routes, roads, narrow paths or any other kind of soil with natural passages, with a strict veterinary control.
It includes several stages that give score along the year and sum until we reach the National Champion Horseman, Horse and Stud.
Resistance March
The SCCCU was the first one to organize marches of long run, that have as an objective to show and select characteristics of resistance, rusticity and power of recovery. After a previous concentration of 30 days, the competitors start on the road traveling along 750 km during 15 days with the only intake of natural grass. During the marching, there are disputed many stages: regulated timing stages, semi-regulated timing stages and moving free stages.
The sites change every year, taking this way the March to every corner of Uruguay . The selection work made for years in this aspect, makes the national bloods a true genetic bank of invaluable importance for our breed.
The Prado Show
The Creole Horse join this great party of the husbandry along with the Asociación Rural del Uruguay participating in the show, in which history our breed plays a predominant role.
With singular attraction there take place the Rein Proofs, Shovelful, Morphological Juries and a new edition of the Integral Proof, ending with the Auction of the Breed.
Husbandry Shows in the countryside
In October, November and December, the breed is present at all the shows, which are site of the Integral Proof, Morphological Juries, Shovelful Classifiers, Herd Contest, Throwing of the Lace, Separation and Penning, Auctions and Incentive Shows.
Incentive Shows
This morphological contest of stallions of one and two years of age, let our breeders participate in a circuit of activities of the SCCCU few after starting the raising of the breed.
Being conscious that the animals are not completely developed, this show allows them to make a primary evaluation of the samples to compete in the future.
Youth Commission
The Creole youth gathers in this Commission, organizing Congresses, Conferences, Visits to Studs, Tours to many competitions, creating a truly supporting group in all the activities of our society.
jóvenescriollos@adinet,com.uy
The Society of Creole Horse Breeders of Uruguay was founded on September 1 st ,1941 and works then on for the promotion and development of the Creole Breed, consolidating its improvement and diffusion.
We invite you to know, participate and share this passion of the raising and all its environment in which we cultivate the tradition, the culture of the horse and the farming, that make the Creole Horse a Cultural Heritage of Uruguay.
